My point is that even completely anonymous data that conforms to what you just said can easily become de-anonymized when contextualized to other "anonymous" data.

A marketer's definition of anonymized is worthless. It's a fantasy they want everyone else to believe in.

If it can be "de-anonymized" then it was never anonymous to begin with.

"De-anonymized" is quite literally an oxymoron.
